    OAT Location

    How sensitive is the rear of the probe? I plan to mount my probe in an inspection panel on the bottom of the wing which I think should be fine. The other possibility is in the skin of the wing in the wheel well area. It would be a bit harder to do here so I was hoping the inspection panel below...

    Dynon ADS-B for Skyview

    Can I get all the weather and TFR/NOTAM functions of the ADS-B without having the Dynon transponder? I understand I will not have traffic without it.

    OAT Probe in NACA Duct?

    The problem with the NACA duct is twofold. Firstly, it is exposed to the heated cabin on the back side which Dynon discourages in the install manual. The other item is that the engine heats the cowling surface from below and your cowling inlets may even backflow a bit at high speed which will...

    New Installation Question

    Do not forget to connect the GPS puck to both D700 displays. This note is shown in the installation manual.

    12 volt output from EMS

    I forgot about the fuel probes. Looks like I will split both lines to a small supply bus with one for each voltage in case I need more. Thanks for the heads up!

    12 volt output from EMS

    I am installing the EMS harness. I split the wires in the harness into two groups. One group of wires stays on the cold side of the firewall while the other goes through to the hot side. I have sorted out the fact there are a couple of RED wires and three YELLOW and gotten each to the...

    Fuel calibration - Tail Dragger

    That was the magnetic calibration versus the fuel calibration I was doing. Sorry for the confusion. Should have looked at my notes more closely.

    Fuel calibration - Tail Dragger

    Check the install manual. I helped install a dual Skyview system in an RV4 and had no difficulties. If memory serves, Dynon says that as long as the ADAHRS correctly displays aircraft attitude the fuel gauges may be calibrated in the tail down attitude. I had no problem with it and it works just...

    Dynon Skyview download.

    Ola, just transfer the files to the thumbdrive. By "root" they mean not to put them in folders you create. Simply transfer the files without trying to do anything with them. They will transfer as files and will not become .zip so you need not worry about that. It has been a while but this is...

    Unused AOA port

    The ADAHRS came with a plastic plug in the port. Leaving it installed will prevent contamination of the port which might occur if left open.

    EMS RPM

    Bear, the later Lightspeed units have an output for you. It sends pulses of about 10 volt amplitude which the Dynon will use quite nicely. No need for the resistors, those are only for the P leads of magnetos. The very early Lightspeeds put out much less voltage on these pins and needed to be...

    Backup battery questions

    The Skyview will operate normally in all modes without the battery as long as it receives power. You will notice no difference as long as the Master Switch is on.

    Backup battery questions

    Jeff, the backup battery powers the screen it is attached to, the ADAHRS, SV-250 GPS (puck), and the ARINC 429. It does not power the transponder or any other GPS antennas. After installation, a fully charged battery is tested annually to allow the system to operate for one hour absent any other...

    what's next

    I would also like to retain the heading bug while in track mode. In the IFR system it is very common to have Approach Control have you fly your route to a fix followed by an assigned heading. I leave the heading bug on the heading as a reminder. Arriving at the last point, I simply change from...

    Q & A

    Dynon Support will probably be along shortly but I will give you a couple of thoughts. The Standby Network error you menion may have been caused by a bad connection. As you know from the installation manual, the Skyview network utilizes two redundant data network paths. It would seem the system...

    GNS480 Interface

    Bob, I also have a 480. I looked to see your email to send you a copy of settings I got from the Yahoo 480 Users Group but it was not listed. The Skyview Installation Manual has a diagram showing the connection of the 480 to the ARINC 429 adapter. If that does not answer your questions, shoot me...

    Mag compass calibrating

    Tim, The method they describe is only necessary if you are using a GPS track reading and not a compass rose. It is simply an alternate way to get a good heading if you do not have a reliable source inside or outside the plane to reference.

    Side-mount heated AOA pitot?

    Mounting the probe on the side of the fuselage will meaning losing the angle of attack (AOA) function since that works in a vertical plane. It could still work if you mounted it on the bottom of the fuselage in a pusher. I was considering this option for canard aircraft.

    Advanced Autopilot

    The idea of a panel approximately the size of a business card gives some planning help. I would echo that the faceplate should be printed on both sides in different orientation such that one side is for vertical mount and the other horizontal giving the builder the most options. Some standalone...
